Best places: Beaches in Genesee County

👍👍 Nice they have shelters here you can sit out of the sun and eat lunch, while basking in the views of the lake and pier. Lake Michigan is gorgeous here, and it’s worth it to take a stroll after lunch to the pier and walk it, or to the concession area and bathrooms just to the south.

Wide, busy beach with public access to the South Pier, grills, playgrounds, lifeguards & restrooms.

Home to an iconic rock formation, this beach is a popular setting for boating, camping & hiking.

👍👍 Beach is well maintained. They keep the beach clean as well as the bathrooms. There's a park, volleyball net, rinsing off station, and there is park safety on duty during hour of operation. This is also a camp ground, but it is convenient because you don't have to walk or drive through it to get to...

👍👍 Small-ish beach with some neat sandstone formations nearby. The formations are just a couple meters northeast of the beach itself, and the area connects to the overall loop trail as well. The area is accessible during low tide and worth the visit.

Sandy city beach on Grand Traverse Bay featuring picnic tables, restrooms & seasonal lifeguards.
